TnT’s latest musical collaberation is a version of Moments I made for Teagan. While I was trying different animations for the video, Teagan created a happy image of a singer and musicians for me to animate. Of the many problems I encountered creating animations for the a video to go with the song, the main two issues were 1) getting a consistent singer and musicians through the entire video, 2) syncing the singer’s mouth to the lyrics.
Using Teagan’s image, I was able to keep the singer and musicians the same all the way through the video. I gave AI the lyrics and incuded timing and prompts in attempts to sync the singers mouth with the lyrics. I do not have an AI subscription that allows me to upload the music in an attempt to sync the music with the animation, so I have to do a lot of trial and error to get things synced up the best I can. I got the mouth syncing moderately close to the words in the video, but they are still off.
I know a lot of people don’t like AI imagery and animation and are put off by it. However, it’s getting better all the time. It also gives artists like me and Teagan a way to create images and animation that we could not afford to do in the traditional ways of creating images for animation and video, or paying someone else to do it for us. Teagan has really polished her use of AI to create images, and I am getting better at the animation for video. We are really psyched about the possibilities that lie before us.

A fun project! I particularly like the lyrics of the song.
Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim.
Liz, Tim’s lyrics made me think of the kind of happy, easy-going moments I’d like to have. The words sounded like sunshine. Hugs.
I love the idea of words sounding like sunshine!
Teagan has a wonderful way about how she thinks of things.
She does!
Alright you two — I’m blushing so hard something might catch fire. Thanks Liz and Tim. You’re too kind.
I appreciate all the work you have put into this. I fall into the category of those not wanting anything to do with AI 😉 And of course it gets better the more its fed.
That said, well done both of you!
Understood. Thanks, Dale.
You’re right to be psyched Timothy and Teagan, fun times with moments like these.
Thanks, Cheyenne.
Thanks, Cheyenne. When Tim sent me the original version of this song, it created dozens of sunny, happy thoughts in my mind. Hugs.
😊
We actually feed it every time we do anything on any computerized device. Whether or not we go to an “AI”. Every web search, each online purchase and most in-store purchases. Every online game, every blog post and comment. AI has been in everything for years. That’s just my considered, researched opinion. 🙂
Generative AI that you use to help find answers to questions, make images, animations, music, etc., is the recent iteration of AI. Teaagan is right that AI has been around for years. Like all the AI we have used for years, generative AI is another tool.
I hear you, Teagan and I know that. 🙂
Tim, you’ve done several different versions of this song, and all of them worked well. Thank you for letting me sing this one. I’m glad you talked about the animation production. I complicated matters for you by asking for a different model/singer. I know you did a ton of work on it. It doesn’t have to be absolutely perfect to be wonderful. Hugs.
To clarify, I only did two versions of the song, mine and yours. But yes, I made several videos of your song. I’m happy when you step in with suggestions. You have good perspectives and offer excellent suggestions. Thanks, Teagan.
I watched this on YouTube. You guys are now a thing!
Love Tim’s music and Lyrics.
Love Teagan’s vocals.
The video is a lot of fun.
Congratulations to the both of you! TnT 🎶💥
Hi, Resa. A thing — cool. When Tim came up with TnT as a name my first thought was the Jimmie Walker catch phrase “Dyn-o-mite!” from the 1970s sitcom. So I loved it. Thanks for all of your kindness and encouragement. Big hugs.
…and I thought of the song by ACDC
“Cause I’m TnT, I’m dynamite.” 🎶
Definitely a thing!
Hugssssssss
I was thinking about ACDC.
Love it!
I didn’t remember that one. Just looked up a live performance of it. The crowd was loving it.
It’s a great song.
It was a fun colaboration. Thanks, Resa.
Great job! I love the video
Thanks, Becky.
Hi Becky. Tim did an amazing job with the video, as well as the lyrics. Hugs.
Indeed a fabulous job!🤗
A great collaboration Teagan and Tim!
You two help me to find merit in AI . I’m always late for the party. Maybe you will help me get on board!
💗
Thanks so much, Cindy. Like any new and powerful thing, AI needs guidelines to prevent its abuse. I found this interview with a Nobel Prize winner fascinating. Hugs.
Thanks, Cindy. You have to think of AI as another tool. Laurie’s 94 year old dad uses AI all the time. He call’s it his friend and helper.

Oh, by the way, here’s a link to my companion post for this collaboration. A short story with an unexpected kind of moment.
This is pretty cool. Great song and singing Teagan. Good fun video
Thanks, Bushboy.
Many thanks, Brian. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Tim did great work with the music and video. He was patient too, considering the extra work I caused by asking about using the non-typical woman model. Hugs.
The “singer” matched the song so well. Good on you for having a voice and for Tim being able to make a great video
Teagan always does a great job singing. Matching the vocals is a real challenge.
You did well.
Your post offers insight into all that is involved. A lot! Great results, with more to come it sounds like. Have fun and best wishes!
Tim puts A lot of work into the videos. Hugs.
I can only imagine! Hugs to you. 😊
Thanks, Michele. You are right about more to come.
👏🏻
A great collaboration and the animation is fun, even if not perfect. Thanks, Tim and Teagan!
Heartfelt thanks for visiting both posts, Olga. In the video Tim captured the sunshine I heard in his song. Hugs.
Well done, maestro. Teagan, you have a lovely voice.
Thank you for your kind words, Shey. Big hugs.
You are more than welcome Teagan. Keep up the excellent work
Thanks, Shay.
Your collaborations with Teagan always results in very interesting and intriguing songs and videos. Like you said, AI will only get much better and faster and it’s a great creative tool for a lot of people.
Thanks for your encouragement, Herman. I hope you’re having a good week. Hugs.
My pleasure, Teagan! It’s always a pleasure to discover the musical projects from you both.
Thanks, Herman. It’s fun to make the best of it and work with it as it improves.
Well, that sure was fun! Great lyrics! I enjoy both of your collaborations. Bravo!
Thanks, Nancy. It was a fun project.
“Fun” is exactly what I hoped to hear, Nancy. Thank so much. Hugs.

Thanks, Priti. i’m happy you like it.
That’s pretty neat!!
Thanks, RB.
Thanks so much. It was fun to watch Tim’s process in making them. Hugs.
What a beautiful collaboration you two! I couldn’t agree more with Teagan, your words sound like sunshine and how wonderfully sung! Such a cheerful video too! Bravo to both!
Thanks, Marina. Teagan always does a great job on the vocals.
She does indeed!
You are so kind, Marina. Heartfelt thanks for visiting both posts.
My pleasure, Teagan! xoxo
You two never cease to amaze me, this is another fantastic collaboration!😊
Thank you so much, Tiffany.
You are so kind, Tiffany — thank you. 🤗. Hugs.
Don and I have listened to “Moment” several times over the past week, Tim. Teagan’s voice comes through beautifully! The lyrics are fantastic. I hope for many TnT collaborations coming soon our way.
Thank you so much, Rebecca. I’m happy you two enjoyed it.
I can’t think of a greater compliment, Rebecca. Thank you and Don very much. I hope you’ve had a terrific Tuesday. Hugs.
Absolutely fabulous. Two of my favourite creatives…Timothy and Teagan…xx
Aw! Thanks Janet. We really appreciate you.
:)xx
You are so kind, Janet — thank you. Big hugs.
you are most welcome xx
Amazing!! Congratulations! 🥳
Thanks, Samatha. It was a fun project.
I’m happy you enjoyed it, Samantha. Hugs.
I love the moody atmosphere of the song. Another great collaboration! (K)
Thanks, M2M. I’m happy you liked it.
Hi, Kerfe. When Tim first sent me that song, I alternated between thinking of Blondie’s The Tide is High and Bob Marley. For some reason, that was the vibe I got from it. I appreciate you visiting both posts. Big hugs.
Looks and sounds great, Teagan and Timothy! I enjoy your collaborations. Keep them coming!
We had a lot of fun. Thanks, Lavinia.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Lavinia. Tim’s song created sunny thoughts. Hugs.
Wow, what a great experiment. Amazing what can be do done now!
Thanks. Tim put a lot of effort into the video. I love that the band’s hands are moving/playing. Hugs.
Thanks, Geoff. It’s getting better al the time.
You and Teagan are getting really good at this song / video creation, Timothy. It’s a wonderful song and Teagan has sung it beautifully. 💖😊
Thanks, Roberta. I’m happy you liked it.
I really did
Hearing that makes me feel good, Robbie. Thank you. Big hugs.
My pleasure, Teagan. The video is great. Your voice is marvelous.
I wrote a long comment and it didn’t post 🙀. A great video. You two just get better and better.
Hmm! I got your first comment.
I’m glad. It didn’t show so I thought something had gone wrong but never mind.
Sorry for the WordPress weirdness, Robbie. But I admit that I certainly didn’t mind reading such lovely comments twice! 😊
I saw later that both posted. Sometimes WP mystifies me. Its a terrific video.
The software is definitely improving – I usually watch the joints and fingers as the kinesiology routines are the ones that are usually lagging. It won’t be long before Tinseltown is no longer needed and then we will see some serious whining. Keep exploring!
Much of the improvements are Teagan and me getting better at prompts. Even so, it takes a lot of takes to get what I want. I get worked up trying to think of how to describe what I want in a way the AI model will understand what I want and not put a bunch of extra crap in the animation. Thanks, Brian.
